RF Transceivers

The contract calls for the procurement of 200 units of Freewave Technologies' MM2-9X5W-CC RF transceivers, which are specialized radio frequency communication devices featuring a 902-928 MHz frequency range, 5-watt output, and capabilities for spread spectrum, frequency hopping, and multiple communication modes including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and TDMA. These transceivers must have a minimum operational range of 90 miles, compact dimensions no larger than 2 by 2 by 1 inch, and a weight between 25 and 50 grams. The contract specifies strict requirements that only new, non-substituted parts will be accepted and explicitly excludes grey market and refurbished units. These transceivers are intended for use in various Seaborne Targets compatible with the Navy’s existing remote control systems. This procurement will be awarded as a sole source contract to Freewave Technologies, Inc., as they are the exclusive designer, developer, and manufacturer of this unique transceiver model, and they do not supply this hardware through distributors. The contract aligns with FAR 6.302-1 justification, highlighting Freewave's singular capability to fulfill the requirement. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334220 and is managed by the Naval Air Warfare Center at China Lake, California. Interested contractors must be certified through the Defense Logistics Information Services to access relevant Controlled Unclassified Information. Communication points for the contract include designated Navy contracting officers.
